New Headphones Let You Hear Through Your Bones!

When I was a kid I took an AC motor (you know those little ones you found inside your toys when you took them apart?) and cut the wires off of a pair of headphones. I then connected the headphone wires to the motor and plugged it into the headphone jack on my stereo just to see what would happen. To my surprise, I could feel vibrations in the motor in sync with the music. For whatever reason, I put the motor in my mouth and bit down on it. Suddenly I could actually hear the music, throughout my skull! It was very tinny sounding, but quite cool indeed. Little did I know at the time, I was playing with a phenomena known as “bone conduction”.

Bone conduction was originally discovered by Ludwig Van Beethoven. He would connect a metal rod to his piano and clench it in his teeth, thus allowing him to ‘hear’ even though he was deaf!

Bone conduction is nothing new, but creating bone-conducting headphones has been a challenge up until now. The audio quality was sub-par. Thanks to the Goldendance company of Japan, our ears can finally have a rest. AudioBone headphones are the first bone conduction headphones in existence that are able to deliver high-fidelity stereo sound. Instead of placing your headphones over your ear as usual, you place the AudioBone ‘phones over the bones in front of your ears (feel those bumps about an inch out?)

The AudioBone headphones convert the sound waves into vibrations that go into your bones and are picked up by your inner ear. This is normally done by your ear drum, but with AudioBone your ear drum gets to take a well deserved vacation.

I can almost hear some of you saying “So what, why bother with this?”. AudioBone isn’t for everyone, however it does have it’s perks:
University studies have shown that bone conduction is safer for your ears than regular headphones and especially those annoying and sometimes painful earbuds.
AudioBone does not block the ear, which allows you to hear all ambient noises. This is especially good for runners or people at work (or anyone who needs to hear for safety purposes). AudioBone headphones are also waterproof and you can hear them perfectly while underwater (great for swimmers).

AudioBone headphones are available now, expect to pay from $189 - $219 plus shipping. No, not for the poor!
